Not only that, but it is very hard to find crew that can and will assemble a factory kit or prebuilt home.

For a newb who is looking to:Partner with 1-2 other people with whom we can assemble the 4 necessary elements for a successful RE investment (1 - money; 2 - knowledge/skills; 3 - opportunity; 4 - time)Offer 3 of the 4 elements (except #1)I am analyzing at least 1 property a day from the worst possible sources - MLS and FBSO sites; with no respectable way of getting comps.

I'd love to see that change but we're having some real challenges getting local jurisdictions to buy into only one ADU even with the new State Senate Bill 1069 and Assembly bills 2299 & 2406 laws that went into effect on Jan 1, 2017.

I was doing loans more complicated than yours three months after assembly at the loan officer factory.

The disadvantages, the advantages, the fabrication and assembly techniques, the recent projects and developments throughout the world and so fourth...I hope we can have meaningful discussions and debates about this topic and everyone fines something of value that comes from this thread. 

(We passed the annual inspection for her house about 2 months ago, it's a superb property with absolutely nothing wrong with it, the mice simply prefer to move indoors when the weather turns cold)As a policy we have placed bait-blocks for tenants behind the fridge/stove and in the basement for free, we even place them annually as part of our Fall Inspection where we check the home and most importantly the furnace.Bet you can't guess that when we didn't show up at her house on Saturday or Sunday she kept up the frantic voicemails to our company system...and the best part is when we showed up with bait blocks on Monday (our next scheduled work day for the crew AND WAAAAYYYY ahead of the 14 day timeline we allow for non-emergency repairs) the tenant refused bait blocks in the home since she has children in the home (who access the back of the refrigerator and stove I guess, no basement in this house).I'd like to assemble a list of what LaPlante does NOT handle, so we can direct tenants to that section when they ring our phones...

Just look at the assembly line...an example of team work on steroids.I teach them to become my partners.

I ordered a bunch of stuff and flew out to assemble it and set it up but I could only get 2 days off in my schedule to do it. 

A plumber is valuable not for the labor of assembling the system but more so for doing it correctly and with the knowledge backing it.
